This restaurant's overall star value is determined by comparing its ratings against
those of other restaurants in the same city.

A teacher might call this grading on a curve. At Seamless, this means that regardless
of their actual tally, restaurants with the highest ratings will have five stars,
those with average ratings will have three, and the not-so-favorite restaurants
will have the least number of stars.

So pay it forward to the Seamless community. Rate and review places you've tried

Reviews for Al Dente (Amsterdam Ave)

based on 26 ratings

I was excited to try this restaurant. Placed my order and then waited, and waited, and waited. Waited longer than the delivery time they advertised. They never acknowledge the order. So I just had to call Seamless and ask them to cancel my order. Too bad. They just lost a customer before i even became one.

Do not use. Rude staff that lied about the delivery and when food arrived it was cold after 90 minutes. When called to complain hung up on me! Avoid as so many better options.

The food is good but extremely over priced. I know this is Manhattan and rents are insane but $16.75 for Penne Vodka is highway robbery!!! Its plain pasta with sauce…come on!!

i literally eat almost every dinner thanks to seamless. don't think i could manage without them. but for the first --AND LAST time i ordered from this particular restaurant. not only was a vegetable that i happen to hate substituted for the stated vegetable on the seamless menu, but the restaurant argued and argued with me, saying that i was wrong. they refused to look at the menu on seamless and refused to offer any kind of apology. they were as rude and self righteous and WRONG as they possible could have been! after complaining to seamless, who DID check the menu description, i was not charged. but i did go hungry!

I just waited over an hour for delivery from this restaurant and my pasta tasted like Chef Boyardee. This is hands down the WORST excuse for italian food I have ever had. Plus it was $7 for 5 nasty pieces of zucchini! Don't order from here- you'll regret it!

Yes, it is very expensive, but the food is delicious! Portions are normal size, not abnormally large like most restaurants.

At $16 for penne with tomato sauce (with a smattering of bacon pieces), the portion was awfully small. Really, how much does boxed penne cost?

Spinach Risotto had the consistency of long grain rice. Penne Vodka was mediocre at best. We also ordered the beet salad which was perhaps one small sized beet and a teaspoon of goat cheese. Delivery was fast but lacked any attention to detail - utensils - maybe some grated parmesan - a napkin or two? For the price there are better Italian options on the UWS. BEWARE they try to add Cokes to every menu item to boast the total ticket.

So far, so good... Ordered 3 times now and they've always been pretty quick and the food is really good. I haven't been too impressed with UWS Italian food, but this place is nice.
